A new remote monitor and control system based on SigFox IoT network

We describe a new, low-cost system designed to provide multi-sensor remote condition monitoring of modern scientific laboratories and allow users perform actions from locations in the case detection specified events. The is battery operated does not require presence local area network or WiFi (which are typically available of, e.g., power losses), as it exploits growing infrastructure Internet Things low-power wide networks. In particular, our new SigFox ultra-narrow-bandwidth provides bidirectional link between instrumentation user even line outages, which among most critical situations that laboratory can withstand. detect occurrence predefined events very short times autonomously react with series actions, also allowing timely additional on through user-friendly smartphone application via browser interface. embeds novel loss architecture, detects failures less than 2 ms. full characterization prototype, including reaction times, connection latencies, sensor sensitivity, consumption.
